The carpet people left a roll of carpet - actually a couple of rolls. Sheri sent one of them off to the binders to make a rug for the kitchen and one for the half bath. But that still left one big roll and I had no place to put it. (The underbed spot is the obvious choice however it is the future home of the cardtable and chairs.) Then it dawned on me... In the far corner of the bedroom closet there is a dead area - good for nothing. It's angled so that shelves won't even fit back there. It's not easy to get to at all so even keeping a suitcase back there is not practical.

But, it's a perfect spot for a roll of carpet. However, getting it in there was not easy. And today, the wounds to prove it are showing up. My arms both have ugly deep purple bruises but the big tell is my right hand. 8 knuckles have scabs on them. It does not look like the hand of someone who spent the weekend mainly knitting teddy bears - more like the hand of someone who rebuilt her Volvo engine!
